Tonight was bittersweet…we held our last meeting as Troop 308 (we are merging with Troop 477) but were able to honor 3 Eagle Scouts that didn’t get their Court of Honor due to COVID-19. Congratulations to all Troop 308 scouts…I can’t wait to see the mark you gentlemen leave on the world!

Hump day was a success! Sorry no afternoon activity photos because I was at the leader dinner but we did have several kids get a bonus merit badge…. Finger printing!!!

The beauty of getting in over 24,000 steps is that everyone hits those pillows hard! Not a peep coming out of those bunks 😴🥱🛌

Tomorrow brings new experiences, more fun and movie night!!!

Well another afternoon session complete! Two of our Scouts got a special treat to go back behind the counter with our camp director to make a new slushie combo for camp, it’s name is still undecided but they have tossed out a few options.

Watermelon party was a big hit, came just before lunch and was a perfect treat on a hot summer day!

Tonight we have a lot of options on after session activities, they include a 3 on 3 basketball tournament, finger printing merit badge, open swim, cyber chip and the OA call out.

Day three! Another great night of sleep for everyone! I even got cold last night and had grab my long sleeve shirt. Our two scouts who slept in the shelter made it the entire night, so that was a win.

Dan Boone scouts are working on first aid, knots, orienteering and flag folding. Our older scouts are working hard to complete merit badges as well. Caught Mathew just after he finished his 1 mile run for Physical fitness!

Lunch today is Chick-fil-A!

More to follow of the afternoon sessions.

Started our last after session, we have scouts all over this camp! A few fun facts we have learned today.

1. The card games are strong with this crew, they’ve played every morning.
2. Day two is more fun less sitting!
3. Frisbee before lunch is fun!
4. Slushies are never ending at camp.
5. Wake up songs are cool, so far we’ve played Here comes the Sun and Sweet Caroline! Up next for tomorrow…….Any suggestions?

Looking forward to open swim today and fishing derby tonight!

More from day two a lot of safety today, so more fun action shots to come. A few of our boys are taking wilderness survival, they have to build a shelter and sleep in it for a night.

Each night two boys have to clean the table sweep and mop our area. Tonight Harrison and Grafton had this duty. The boys are all off to tonight’s water carnival they are all hopping to climb with water iceberg!! Todays step count for us adults…… over 21,000!

Soon they will be off to sleep and we will be on to another day!
